                         MEDSTONE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              September 30, 2001

A.   Basis of presentation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Medstone International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (which
consist only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of its consolidated financial position at September 30, 2001 and consolidated
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Although the
Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2001.
Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     On September 1, 2001, the Company purchased common stock representing 25%
of the outstanding shares of Arcoma AB, a Swedish manufacturer and supplier of
equipment to the Company. The Company reflects this purchase as an investment in
unconsolidated subsidiary and reflects its proportional percentage of operating
income or loss in minority interests. Operating results for Arcoma AB for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 were not material.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

B.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to
have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual
impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

                                       7


     The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase
in net income, after tax, of approximately $60,000 ($.01 per share) per year.
During 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required impairment tests
of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and has
not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on the earnings and
financial position of the Company.

C.   Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

     The components of other comprehensive loss are as follows:

            Currency Translation Adjustment
            -------------------------------
            Balance at December 31, 2000                 $   55,395
            Foreign currency translation adjustments         (7,807)
                                                         ----------
            Balance at September 30, 2001                $   47,588
                                                         ==========

     The functional currency of the investment in foreign subsidiaries is
considered to be the United States dollar.

     The earnings associated with the Company's investment in its foreign
subsidiaries are considered to be permanently invested and no provision for U.S.
federal and state income taxes on those earnings or translation adjustments has
been provided.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, total comprehensive
income was $321,068 and $541,666, respectively, For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, total comprehensive income was $887,820 and
$2,130,187, respectively.

E.   Per share information


     The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," and applied
this pronouncement to all periods presented. This statement requires the
presentation of both basic and diluted net income per share for financial
statement purposes. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential
shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options and warrants using the
treasury stock method. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
restated to conform with the SFAS No. 128 requirements and the accounting rules
set forth in Staff Accounting Bulletin 98 issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 3, 1998.

     The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share:

continues to expand its Fee-for-Service Program to supply lithotripsy equipment
to providers on a per procedure basis. The lithotripters manufactured by
Medstone are approved to treat both kidney stones and gallstones. The Company is

integrating by offering its medical devices directly to providers. It currently
offers lithotripsy procedures using 15 mobile systems, two fixed sites and 23
transmobile lithotripters located throughout the United States on a per

business.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended September
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30, 2000
--------

          The Company recognized total revenue of $6.0 million in the third
quarter of 2001 compared to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2000, or a 10%
increase. Revenues from procedures, maintenance and management fees decreased
from $4.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $4.8 million
in the three months ended September 30, 2001 due to lower average per patient
charges on the Company's fee-for-service equipment even as the patient count
increased slightly. Also decreasing were the revenues from maintenance contracts
as the number of contracts declined. Partially offsetting these decreases were
increased spares revenues as there were higher shipments for both domestic and
foreign customers in the current year when compared to the same period of the
prior year. Equipment revenues increased to $1.066 million in the quarter ending
September 30, 2001 from $ .374 million in the comparable

                                       11


quarter of the prior year, or a 185% increase. The Company shipped one
lithotripsy system in each period but there were 29 various patient handling
tables shipped in the 3 months ended September 30, 2001 compared to two shipped
in the same period of 2000.

          Interest income decreased by 35% in the third quarter of 2001 when
compared to the same period of the prior year due to a significant decline in
investment yields and no significant change in the average invested balance.

          Recurring revenue cost of sales decreased to 61% of sales in the
quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to 65% in the same quarter of the
prior year. This is due to lower depreciation and equipment rental expenses as
the fee-for-service revenue stream incorporates more fixed site fee-for-service
units and older mobile vans are fully depreciated. Cost of sales on equipment
sales increased to 64% of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2001
compared to 59% of sales in the same period of 2000. This increase is due to a
higher cost of sales of imaging tables and increased costs of production on
lithotripsy equipment. Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue
(excluding interest), decreased to 61% in the third quarter of 2001 compared to
65% in the third quarter of 2000.

          Research and development costs increased to $320,000 in the third
quarter of 2001 compared to $253,000 in the third quarter of 2000 or an increase
of 26% due to additional UroPro 2000 development spending and additional
consulting expenses as the Company accelerates spending on new applications for
our existing equipment.

          Selling costs increased to $681,000 in the third quarter of 2001
compared to $544,000 in the same period of the prior year, a change of $137,000
or 25% due to higher payroll expenses for added sales staff and increased bad
debt expense.

          General and administrative expenses increased by $32,000 or 6% in the
three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period in the prior
year due to higher legal and audit expenses.

          Gain on sale of investments was approximately $200,000 in the quarter
ending September 30, 2001 compared to $472,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 2000. The Company sold the final 86,000 shares of its Cardiac
Science, Inc. common stock in the current year, whereas the Company sold 65,000
shares of Cardiac Science in the same period of 2000 at a higher average per
share price. The net book value of all shares was $0.

          Total minority interest expense increased to $416,000 in the three
months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $201,000 in the same period of the
prior year due to higher profits in the Northern Nevada and Southern Idaho
operations and recognition of the Company's portion of operating losses in
Medicredit.com, Inc., k.Biotech and Arcoma AB operations in 2001.

                                       12


          Provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2001 decreased by
$125,000 as a result of lower taxable income in the current year when compared
to the same period of 2000.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000
----

          The Company recorded total revenue of $16.6 million in the first nine
months of 2001 or a 5% decrease compared to $17.5 million in the corresponding
period of 2000. Revenues from procedures, maintenance and management fees
decreased by $139,000, or 1%, due to lower average reimbursement per patient
even as total patient count increased by 3% in the current year, to over 21,400
patients. Maintenance revenue also decreased in the current year compared to the
same period in the prior year. Equipment revenue decreased by $746,000, or 26%,
as lithotripter shipments decreased from 7 in the nine months ended September
30, 2000 to 2 in the same period of 2001. Offsetting some of the decline in
lithotripter shipments is the increased activity in the Company's imaging
tables, as the Company has shipped 78 various types of tables in 2001 with only
2 units sold in the corresponding period of 2000.

          Interest income decreased by 18% for the first nine months of 2001
when compared to the same period of the prior year as significantly lower
interest yields were earned on a lower average invested balance.

          Procedure, maintenance and management fee cost of sales decreased to
60% in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 61% in the same
period of the prior year as costs decreased in the fee-for-service program due
to lower depreciation and equipment rental costs. Cost of sales on equipment
sales increased to 80% of revenue in the first nine months of 2001 compared to
67% of revenue in the first nine months of 2000 due to lower margins on imaging
tables. Overall cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue (excluding interest),
increased slightly to 63% in the first nine months of 2001 compared to 62% in
the first nine months of 2000.

          Research and development costs decreased by $34,000, or 4% in the
first nine months of 2001 when compared to the same period of 2000 as the
Company developed the UroPro 2000 table in 2000 and is increasing spending on
new project applications in 2001.

          Selling costs increased by 22%, or $350,000, in the first nine months
of 2001 compared to the same period of 2000 due to higher tradeshow expenses,
payroll for expanded imaging sales efforts and bad debt expense.

          General and administrative expenses decreased by 2%, or $38,000, in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the first nine months of
2000 due to lower consulting expense regarding the gallstone filing and lower
audit fees due to the 2000 acquisition of an ownership interest in
Medicredit.com, Inc..

          Gain on sale of investments was $628,000 in the nine months ended
September 30,2001 compared to $1,553,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
2000. In 2001, the Company sold a total of 187,000 shares of Cardiac Science
common stock whereas 258,667 shares of

                                       13


Cardiac Science common stock and 5,000 shares of Genstar Therapeutics Corp.
(Formerly Urogen Corp.) were sold in 2000. The net book value of all shares sold
was $0.

          Minority interest increased by 19%, or $112,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 when compared to the same period of the prior year due
to decreased profits in the partnership operations and recognition of the
Company's portion of the losses of k.Biotech and Arcoma AB and minimal equity
earnings from Medicredit.com, Inc.

          Provision for income taxes decreased to $640,000 in the first nine
months of 2001 compared to $1,350,000 for the same period of 2000 as a result of
lower taxable income in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

          At September 30, 2001, the Company had cash and short-term investments
of approximately $6.3 million. These funds were generated from continuing
operating activities.

          The Company's long-term capital expenditure requirements will depend
on numerous factors, including the progress of the Company's research and
development programs, the time required to obtain regulatory approvals, the
resources that the Company devotes to the development of self-funded products,
proprietary manufacturing methods and advanced technologies, the costs of
acquisitions and/or new revenue opportunities, the ability of the Company to
obtain additional licensing arrangements and to manufacture products under those
arrangements, and the demand for its products if and when approved and possible
acquisitions of products, technologies and companies.

          The Company believes that its existing working capital and funds
anticipated to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the cash
needs for continuation of its present operations during 2001.
